    There was a story told about it in a Sandman comic, yes. I think even in comic book land, you don't have to take stories like that to be completely literal and factual. In the world of myths and dreams, Rao prevented Krypton from being saved, and in the land of physics it was a natural solar...

    Well it's, uh, a start I guess. These cameloid folks... er I guess I can call them the Fthaymons... don't seem too confident. This alliance needs some central ride-or-die species or world that can at least make a plausible threat to the Thanagarians. Not necessarily win on their own, but make...

    Besides, Hyathis already has plenty of personal power. The trouble is that she's already very busy and can handle only so many things at once. She needs another powerful person on the job. Kind of in the same way that Dox is their most powerful Orange Lantern, barring only OL calling on the...

    I always thought Harkness probably has more tech skills than he likes to show off. Less "super science" and more "super design", an intuitive sense for how to integrate all sorts of stuff into his boomerangs without throwing off the balance. There's probably ways to parlay that into something...

    As I recall, Paul has a harder time mustering up the desire to help people who have caused their own problems, so this little checklist showing that it was an unforeseeable accident probably helped him respond at full power. Another part of this might be that Thanagar's militarism is...

    Of course she didn't threaten him, did she? OL asked Shayera what she was hoping to accomplish, and she said essentially, "I wanted to yell at you at let you know I'm mad." She sort of came close with "if I ever catch you off earth" but it seems like the cutoff was more because she thought...

    Important to remember the context that the four rulers of the Antares system originally appeared in DC comics in a story where Kanjar Ro forces the Justice League to fight her (and his other rivals in Antares) by holding the earth hostage. The League is so unimpressed by the four warmongering...

    I'm not sure how she's "got" Vulcan. She's got a chance to negotiate with Vulcan and try to make him a better offer (which is very possible since she's got far more experience with magic), but Vulcan is still an independent agent. The Thanagarians could simply approach him again and make a...

    So i have no idea how magic works in the Fallout universe, but does Krono not have any issues with the whole “lacking a soul” thing that other Pauls have? Or did something happen that fixed that? Or does Fallout magic not care about souls?

    While OL isn't "siding with" Hyanthis, I think he's somewhat more sympathetic to her than the other involved parties. I notice the peace treaty doesn't try to reverse her conquest of the other three species of Antares. And while she might have won this battle if it was fought , the conquest of...

    She's out of line but she's not wrong. My theory is that the problem is that the Thanagarians don't have an alternative religious tradition. If you're spiritually inclined and desperate to entrust yourself to a higher power, it's the Seven Devils or nothing. That's why the cults keep coming...

    Now I regret not posting my original thought on the conclusion to all this many updates ago. Organian Peace Treaty. The original Star Trek series had an episode where the Federation and the Klingon Empire were on the verge of war. A powerful species of energy beings, the Organians, told them...

    Not that Paul is under any formal requirement to issue explanations for calling upon the Ophidian, but I am sure even Dox would understand “preventing the destruction of three inhabited planets”. Even at the scale of the Reach War, that is a serious disaster.

    Who has she stabbed in the back? I do think that Hyanthis is a different case from the other species of Antares or the Thanagarians. If the High Mor decided Thanagar should embrace peace and stop conquering people, he would just be replaced. Same deal with the Mosteelians. But Hyanthis...

    The premise of this entire investigation is wrong. The story hawk guy intel chief told is that he was mind controlled to only act in ways that would benefit his controller’s objectives, and he managed to convince himself that striking OL would do that, when really he wanted to reveal himself so...

    So could OL… take ‘em? What are his odds?

    I feel like you're misunderstanding the social dynamic here. You "give people shit" about things you know they aren't that embarrassed or regretful about, but that's it's fun to tease them for. When Jordan tells OL not to blow up any planets, that's like 10% a reminder to caution and 90% one...

    It seems like there's a severe lack of knowledge about what is gong on in the rest of the world in many, many places. I realize long distance travel isn't easy, but you'd think they could do better than this. Especially all these sites on the same continent; neolithic traders managed to pass...

    Technically I think he agreed to give up his seat on the Council in response to the complaint that it's basically letting Dox have two votes. But no reason to tell this guy that. Oof, announcing an intent to commit planetary genocide was probably not great on the "convince OL to remain...

    OL has seen people restored from assimilation twice; first by Finality Man using omega beams and then by Highfather. So New God bullshit in both cases. Still, that doesn't mean that New God bullshit is the only way of doing it. If the Guardians follow through on getting that assimilated...
